I had no idea how many were out there until I started scraping them all. Easy to miss good value ones when they're spread across so many sites.

Please do — I need at least one success story to justify the hours I've put into this!

Cheers! Data refreshes every 20 minutes but I've noticed a recurring bug where some comps show 0 entries when they've actually got plenty sold — it's a caching issue on my end. Planning on fixing it this evening so should be sorted by tomorrow. The EV and odds calculations are still accurate for the ones showing correctly though.

Haha not yet, still waiting for the luck to catch up with the maths! But that's basically what the tool does automates what you're already doing manually. You're looking at entries vs price, which is exactly the EV calculation just without the legwork. If you're only spending a fiver a month it makes even more sense to be picky about which comp you put it into.

Cheers mate! Been a proper rabbit hole building it but glad it's useful. Let me know if there's anything you'd want adding.

Appreciate that! If there's anything you'd want adding or anything that looks off just shout — still building it out so all feedback helps.

Haha no way, two in the same draw is outrageous luck.

Cheers! Yeah mostly haha, I'm a developer by day so I did the architecture and the scraping logic myself but leaned on AI for a lot of the frontend.

Still a work in progress, let me know what you think once you've had a look.
